Chapter 47: I Found Some Useful Magic

“I can fight while scouting. Though my MP gets depleted every time the slimes use magic, so I can’t use it too much.”

“That’s fine. As long as you can protect yourself, we should be able to manage the rest.”

“It’s settled then. There’s no harm in finishing a quest we’ve already accepted.”

And with that, I sent the Proud Wolf and slimes back into the forest. Having them spread out was our best defense against an ambush.

As for combat and scouting, the slimes could do it as long as they remained hidden throughout.

Still, I decided to search for some magic that would fit the occasion.

“Alright, you do that then. …Now, I suppose we better set up camp. We have to retrieve our camping equipment, so I need you to secure the area.”

“I understand retrieving the equipment, but you want to set up camp again? But we just did that?”

“But we were interrupted and some of us didn’t get enough sleep. Especially you, Yuji. You couldn’t have been sleeping very soundly if you noticed Rodis had gone missing?”

I see. So we would get the sleep we had missed out on.

This world was a lot nicer than my old company.

The slimes had actually told me about Rodis, but it didn’t change the fact that I hadn’t gotten that much sleep.

…I should take them up on their kind offer.

“Alright. Let’s go retrieve the camping equipment.”

I said. Then I ordered the slimes.

‘We’re going back to get our equipment. See if there are any monsters in the area.’

‘Okay!’

‘Understood!’

And with that, the Proud Wolf and slimes went to see if the area was secure.

Thankfully, they returned with the news that everything was still there and no monsters had been there.

“My tent is fine… Okay, that’s everything then.”

Tina said as she walked around the area after making sure that her belongings were there.

The sky was already starting to brighten.

“But this place has been exposed by the bandits, maybe we should change locations just to be safe.”

“It’ll be a lot of trouble finding a perfect spot again, but I think you are right.”

Tina looked very drowsy and muttered as if she would really rather not do that.

…Maybe this was a good time to try a little trick.

“I’ll find a camping spot for you.”

“Huh? Tamed monsters can do that too?”

“No, they don’t have that ability. …But, I can see what they are looking at.”

And so saying, I grabbed the slime that was on my shoulder.

…When there were this many slimes gathered together, it was large and hard to grab.

‘Hey, split up so you become a little smaller.’

‘Okay! …How much smaller?’

‘Throwing size.’

The slimes heard this and raised their voices in surprise.

‘…Are you going to throw us again!? It was so shocking the last time you did it!’

‘Yeah. That’s why I am telling you now. I am going to throw you. Do you mind?’

‘Hmm… It’s fine if we know in advance!’

‘Good.’

And with that, I grabbed one of the slimes that had separated from the big one.

And then I hurled it high into the air.

‘Gyaaaaaa!!’

From the point of view of the screaming slime that shot up into the air, I was able to find a good location.

It was the right distance from us and was in a slight depression, which would make it hard to find.

“I found a good place. It should be quite safe for us.”

And with that, we started walking towards the spot.

Ten minutes later…we arrived at our destination.

“…That’s amazing… I had no idea that taming was such a good job…”

“Tina. I know a few Tamers who are Adventurers, but none of them can do things like this. I think Yuji is just a weirdo?”

“Well, there is definitely no doubt about Yuji being weird. There is no way that the guild would give such a useful job the cold shoulder.”

Tina and Lisa talked about this while they pitched their tent.

“Alright, let’s choose the order of the watch now. We can rest until midday.”

“Oh, leave the watch to me. I just need to make the slimes do it.”

I said as I pointed at the slimes in the area.

The slimes were eating leaves, climbing trees and moving around to their heart’s content…but I was sure they would still recognize any danger that approached.

Slimes were weak monsters but had a high ability to detect danger.

“…Just slimes? Are you sure that is safe?”

“Yeah. Besides, it was them that noticed Rodis’s escape, not me. I wouldn’t notice any change that they couldn’t.”

“If you say so, Yuji. It must be fine. …Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

And with that, Tina and Lisa disappeared into their tents.

And then I went into mine.

‘Wake me when it’s midday.’

‘Okay!’

I told the slimes when to wake me up. Then I closed my eyes.

…Now. A lot of things had happened, but tomorrow was when we really started on the quest.

I hoped things would be less troublesome this time.
